A semiconductor device capable of holding multibit information in one memory cell, and a method of manufacturing the semiconductor device. A trench is formed in a channel portion of an MONOS transistor. Then, a source side portion and a drain side portion in a silicon nitride film of a gate insulating film which interpose the trench are caused to function as first and second electric charge holding portions capable of holding electric charges. In the case in which first electric charges are trapped on the drain side and second electric charges are trapped on the source side, a portion of a gate electrode in the trench functions as a shield. If a fixed potential is given to the gate electrode, the second electric charge holding portion is not influenced by an electric field induced by the first electric charges so that the trapping of the second electric charges is not inhibited.

In a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device, a memory cell array includes memory cell transistors and cell select transistors corresponding to the memory cell transistors, respectively. A memory cell SG decoder supplies a potential to a cell select line corresponding to the selected row. The cell select transistor opens and closes a conduction path of a current flowing between a bit line and a source line through the memory cell transistor in accordance with the potential on the cell select line. As a result, an influence by a leak current flowing from the unselected memory cell transistor in a read operation is suppressed.

In erasing, electrons are simultaneously injected into floating gates from sources of a plurality of memory cells. Thus, the threshold voltages of the plurality of memory cells are increased. In programming, electrons are emitted from a floating gate of a selected memory cell to a drain. Thus, the threshold voltage of the selected memory cell is reduced.

A semiconductor device capable of effectively preventing a dielectric breakdown of a gate oxide film without adversely affecting the characteristics of a transistor and a process of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The semiconductor device comprises a SOI film 2 whose upper angular parts are rounded off by sputter etching and a gate oxide film 3 formed on SOI film 2 with an almost uniform thickness. Therefore, electric field concentration in the upper angular parts of SOI film 2 is reduced. Furthermore, the control characteristics of the transistor are enhanced by the uniform gate oxide film 3. As a result, a dielectric breakdown of the gate oxide film is effectively prevented without adversely affecting the characteristics of the transistor. Sputter etching enabling processing at a low temperature is used, so that the upper angular parts of SOI film 2 are rounded off without adversely affecting a semiconductor element formed in the lower layer.

The DRAM according to the present invention comprises so-called cylindrical stacked type capacitors. Each of the cylindrical stacked type capacitors comprises a base portion extending flat on an insulation layer and a surface of a substrate, and a cylindrical portion extending vertically and upwardly from the base portion. Then, the cylindrical portion vertically and upwardly protrudes from an outermost peripheral position of the base portion. As a result, an area where electrodes of the capacitor and capacitance of the capacitor can be increased. Furthermore, with a bit line located below an electrode layer of the capacitor, adjacent capacitors above the bit line can be isolated. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the bit line contact from defining an isolation distance between the capacitors. Furthermore, an isolating layer patterned by etching is used as an isolating region between the capacitors and a lower electrode of the capacitor is formed along a surface of the isolating layer to form an isolation region between the adjacent capacitors. In addition, the lower electrode of the cylindrical stacked type capacitor is integrally formed by using a step formed in the insulation layer. As a result, the manufacturing step is simplified.

摘要:
The width of a charge storage electrode and a control electrode in the column direction is set to be wider above an element isolation region than that above a channel region. Therefore, the capacitance between the control electrode and the charge storage electrode can be increased to improve the coupling ratio in a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device. Also, a first interconnection layer is equal in height above the control electrode and above the channel region, so that patterning of the first interconnection layer can be carried out easily and precisely.
